Papua New Guinea is a unique land steeped in culture and mystery. True to its claim of being one of the last frontiers on earth, the natural beauty and intricate history of this country beckon to be explored.
T
he cultural riches and extraordinary wilderness of PNG are a traveller’s delight. Nowhere else in the world can one explore such diversity in language and culture than within this fascinating nation. Its unique array of colourful tribespeople draws inspiration from the region’s incredible landscapes. Papua New Guinea (PNG) lies on the eastern half of the second largest island in the world, and shares a border with Indonesia. Fringed by spectacular coral reefs, PNG is surrounded by thousands of atolls and smaller islands, and experiences the highest volcanic activity in the South West Pacific region. While PNG’s landmass is situated in the tropics, running down the length of the island’s rugged interior are mountain peaks that occasionally experience snowfall. In the Highlands, the mountainous terrain is so dense and remote that the different groups who migrated to the region developed their own languages and tribal culture to reflect their surrounds. Lying just south of the equator, the climate in PNG is tropical with the wet season occurring December to March and the dry season May to October. The seasons are not as pronounced as in Asia so, while the humidity can be high at times, the temperatures rarely get too hot.
There are, however, exceptions to the region’s seasonal rules with Alotau and Lae experiencing the wet season when other regions are dry. Additionally, Tabubil, nestled at the base of the Star Mountains in the Western Province, is known as the “umbrella town” because of its persistent rainfall year round. To further prove PNG’s diverse nature, the dry season can be unpredictable across the mainland, while the island provinces have a steadier climate with milder temperatures and infrequent rainfall. PNG has a small population of approximately 8 million people, yet no less than 820 different languages are spoken throughout the region. It comes as no surprise then that a quarter of the world’s languages herald from PNG. English, Pidgin and Hiri Motu are the official languages of the region. PNG’s remoteness has preserved a traditional lifestyle, with many Papua New Guineans still residing in small villages and surviving on farming. A number of fascinating cultures can still be found in PNG from the famous Huli Wigmen in the Highlands to the enigmatic tribes on the Trobriand Islands. As a result, PNG has sprouted a number of annual festivals that celebrate the customs and costumes of the beguiling locals.

CULTUR AL WONDERL AND Around 50,000 years ago, Asian migrants travelled across the Indonesian archipelago to become the first human inhabitants of PNG. Archaeological remnants such as stone axes and animal fragments discovered in the Ivane Valley date back anywhere between 44,000 to 49,000 years. It’s believed islands such as New Britain and New Ireland were settled around 35,000 years ago, and Manus as late as 20,000 years ago. Evidence suggests that, rather than settling in one place, the first regional dwellers moved nomadically from the mountains to lower elevations to rotate their food supply. With migrational groups dispersing over time, the remote conditions gave rise to unique tribal customs and languages. Early settlers of PNG are ancestrally linked with Australian Aborigines as Australia was once connected to PNG by a land bridge evident during the Pleistocene Epoch. This marked a period when the polar ice caps retained more water, so sea levels were lower than they currently are. The land bridge disappeared approximately 8,000 years ago, which explains why the same race of people became so culturally diversified. Another migrational wave occurred around 3,500 years ago evidenced by the ornate pottery remnants found throughout the region. The pottery was crafted by the Lapita people who archaeologists initially believed were traders passing through from eastern Asia. It was discovered later that the Lapita people colonised areas of PNG by bringing anything they required to settle comfortably. This included animals and the
means to plant crops. Their superior artisan skills are showcased not just in their pottery but in the ingenuity of their flaked stone and wood tools, and shell artefacts. The first people to settle in PNG were hunter gatherers who subsisted on a diet of animal, fish and local vegetation. With global temperatures eventually increasing around 10,000 years ago, it’s no surprise that evidence of agricultural farming was found in PNG from 9,000 years onwards. Papua New Guineans have, in fact, been credited with being one of the first cultures to agriculturally farm land. The existence of domesticated pigs in PNG dates back as early as 5,000 years. Pigs remain culturally and financially important today with marriages still consecrated with a dowry of pigs. To this day, many Papua New Guineans live off subsistence farming. Tribes in PNG are typically patrilineal, which means land is passed down from father to son and leadership is strictly a man’s domain – though in some quarters this has softened slightly. Atypically, New Ireland and Alotau are matrilineal societies and so the preservation of the mother’s clan is of the utmost importance. Not only is land passed down from the mother to her children but, in marriage, the offspring notably become part of their mother’s tribe and the husband works tirelessly for the betterment of the tribe.

AWE-INSPIRING TREK S 1 KOKODA TR AIL The memory of Kokoda lives in the hearts of more than 3,000 visitors who hike the trail every year. Extending 96 kilometres, the trail weaves across river systems and treacherous mountains, through tiny villages and perilous ridges. Trekking Kokoda is a life changing experience due to the sheer endurance required to complete it and the emotional connection it has with WWII soldiers. Today, war relics littered along the trail stand as a ghostly reminder of the fierce battles fought along the trail. Trekkers also get to experience complete remoteness and rare, unusual fauna. All trekkers are required to have a permit which should be obtained prior to hiking the trail. For more information, contact the KTA in Port Moresby on +675 323 6165. 2 K APA K APA TR AIL For endurance trekkers, the Kapa Kapa Trail will prove to be the ultimate challenge. Dubbed ‘The Ghost Mountain Trail’, the track runs 170 kilometres in length and passes over the Owen Stanley Ranges at a higher altitude to Kokoda. During WWII, the trail was used by American Forces to avoid heavy fighting along the Kokoda Trail and advance upon the Japanese along the north beaches. The trail takes 15 days to complete with an experienced tour guide and is recommended for skilled hikers only. For more information, visit www.kapakapatrail.com. 3 MT WILHELM For the intrepid trekker, Mt Wilhelm presents the perfect challenge. Hovering at 4,500 metres, the peak offers spectacular views of The Highlands. Demarcating the point where three provinces converge (Western Highlands, Simbu and Madang), this hike is tailored for those with a moderate fitness level as it takes three to four days to reach the peak. For more information, contact PNG Trekking Adventures on +675 325 1284.
4 MT GILUWE As the second highest peak in PNG, Mt Giluwe offers an unforgettable trekking adventure. Take in The Highlands from a fresh perspective while you trek to the summit where not one but two peaks await you. Speak to someone at Kiburu Lodge for guided treks to Mt Giluwe. 5 MT HAGEN Mt Hagen is the third highest mountain in PNG. Its remote landscape poses the perfect challenge for trekkers who want to get amongst PNG’s ruggedness. For treks to Mt Hagen and surrounding peaks in the Western Highlands, speak to someone at your accommodation establishment. 6 ROTOK A S-NUM A TR AIL The Rotokas-Numa Trail, located on Bougainville, is a demanding yet gratifying trek. Lesser known than the Kokoda Trail, the track stretches from the heart of the island to the west coast canvassing dense jungle, volcanic landscapes and lush waterways. The Rotokas-Numa Trail became a battleground between the Japanese and Allied Forces during WWII, and again in the 90s between the PNG Defence Force and Bougainville Revolutionary Army. It is recommended that trekkers take a local guide with them on their travels. For more information on guided tour packages, contact Rotokas Ecotourism on +675 7078 0211. 7 TR ANS-NE W BRITAIN TR ACK The Trans-New Britain Track boasts two routes, one through the Wowo Plateau which features a number of caves, and the other Katula Ridge which extends to West New Britain. For more information on the trek, contact Nakanai Ranges Tours and Adventures on +675 7335 3706. Both East and West New Britain have many extinct and active volcanoes worth exploring which puts you amongst some of the most stunning flora and fauna in the world.
